Abstract :
We present the case of a 40-year-old man with aggressive systemic mast cell disease. The patient had a predominant near-haploid clone in his bone marrow cells, detected by cytogenetic analysis performed at the time of diagnosis. The similarities between this case and a previously published case of near-haploidy in a patient with malignant mastocytosis suggest that near-haploidy may be a characteristic of aggressive systemic mast cell disease rather than an incidental finding.
